    Go to the track if you want to go speeds that would need a radar detector

    speed kills ? - yeah right

    apparently it only kills if you don't have blue/red flashing lights .
    in my misspent youth I regularly rode as near to the redline as possible, I did ride with forethought as to where/what hazards were upcoming, and I regularly practiced brake/swerve, avoid tactics.
    now I ride at more reasonable pace as I'm older and don't heal as good.
    but the only times I've had crashes have been due to not expecting gravel on tarseal corners- something which I usually do .
    to me , blaming speed for crashes is like blaming a bullet for killing, not the person.
    so if your going to speed - make sure you are highly skilled at avoiding obstacles, controlling slides, and have a great radar detector !

    I don't go anywhere without it.
    Had 2 in 15 years, saves me about a grand each year and I have no demerits at all, haven't had a ticket in 14 years. Mine mounts behind my big bike screen and I can hear it no probs. I could put the output into a $15 blue tooth decice but have never bothered to do it.
    The detector goes in both car and bike. I drive a bit faster than I ride these days. My detector is just a standard belltronics 950 I think which was cutting edge 15 years ago. It's not water proof at all. If its raining it gets put away. The mounting is 3 bits of velcro and a tiny aluminium bracket.
    Detectors and not the be all and end all, it won't detect a rozza who turns on his radar if he is right infront of you, IMHO most of the rozza are not the sharpest knife in the draw and check every on comming car so you usually know when they are around.
    The fatherest distance I have picked up one was 12 km on a north canterbury straight. He was parked outside the local Culverton donut shop.
    While they are legal I will continue to use one. I wouldent consider building a jammer as I have too much to loose by running an unlicenced radio transmitter for QRM.
    You have got to get in the habit of asking your self, if I was a rozza where should I park to catch as many drivers as I can with the least effort and watch your speed there. Speeding around any donut shops is an risky thing to do.
